The first of these propositions is true, the second false. Several of the repos are very well tested indeed and rock solid (e.g. main and security), but there are repos which are tested less: non-free and contrib for example. They are still not "prone to failure or bugs". The detail depends on the version. In the case of stable, they are still considerably less buggy than another well known distro's main repository. I personally have never had a problem arising from a Debian Stable repository, even non-free. I have had a problem with chromium, but that has its own repository.
